It was a great experience from start to finish. We reached out to schedule and Andrew was very…read moreaccommodating of our busy schedule with two teenagers that play sports. Then when we had to move the scheduled date because of a change in state playoffs, he was understanding and again accommodating on the next date. He was extra proactive when it looked like our rescheduled date might get rained out. He was extremely professional, worked well with two boys that may not always smile, captured the best angles of our backyard and sunset glow, and posed us all in a way that was natural and flattering. Afterwards, he quickly called to schedule a session to see the photos. I understand why he does not do it over the internet. I know that people may have the knowledge to take screen captures and remove watermarks. While I would not do this, he needs to protect his work. He was patient while we picked from his expertly pre-edited selections, but also let me look over the whole lot to make sure there was nothing I liked better. He may not be the rock bottom cheapest but you get what you pay for. Our last photosession was with such a photographer -not Andrew. It all seemed to be going as all photo sessions in the past. Then weeks later we get photos that were we were not posed well, lightening was not ideal, and the composition of the photo was obviously not considered. These make me sad everytime I look at them because I know I will not get that moment back in our kids' lives. I know Andrew's photos will bring me joy for all my years to come of this last moment before my oldest is technically an adult. I can't wait to get them hung on the wall. Bottom line, if you want visual memory you will cherish forever, then hire Andrew.

I was in awe watching her work with our bundle of joy! What she does is definitely an art!! We had a wonderful experience with Purple Owl Photography. I would recommend this location if you don't have a budget. I explained in further detail below. Cons: Extremely overpriced! We received approximately 20 photos on a USB flash drive and a few printed pictures for over 950.00 dollars.Looking back I still can't believe I paid that much for the photos but I wanted each of them because they turned out so beautiful! With that being said to get all of the pictures on a disk drive , the owner makes your purchase a package with printed photos. All the packages with the USB flash drives are over 900+ so be prepared in the financial department !

She captured the most beautiful pictures and we couldn't be happier with the whole experience! She edited and gave us our final images way faster than we were expecting. We would definitely recommend her and hope to use her again in the future!

I shot her an email and asked her to shoot Yelp's Hollywood Premiere. AWESOME! She was on time and more importantly friendly, attentive, professional and did one heck of a job!!! I gave her an idea of what I was trying to create with the event, props, people, etc. and she totally figured things out. Check out the great pics that she shot. Look for Chris McCormick at future Yelp HRVA events. She's a keeper! As a matter of fact, the owners of the venue that hosted the event are now considering using Chris for their family pics.

I had a very particular type of photo in mind and likely far to many specific requests. She listened to all of my input and made it happen. She is extremely detail oriented and passionate about her photography. The photos are far better than I ever envisioned! Booking and payment was simple, all online. She was in constant communication up to the day of the shoot, providing ideas about locations and details of what was required at various locations (e.g., permits, fees, etc.). She did her homework and scoped out our chosen location in advance. The day of the shoot was a breeze. Lyndsay (and her husband Tony) made my fiancé and I feel so comfortable, as if we had known them for years. My fiancé begrudgingly appeased me with a 2-hour shoot. Lyndsay was so patient with him and still managed to get a ton of great photos! We got our photos so quick! Lyndsay gave us a teaser within a day of the shoot. This was so exciting! She turned around the photos much quicker than I anticipated. All of them were beyond perfect!
